Time Flies By

Wow I am not sure where last week went to, it all seems like a blur at the moment. Anyways football is now officially over and I am happy to say both Ry and Shane came away with all limbs, ankles, knees, and heads still in good working order. I try not to be paranoid about football injuries but when you see your kid go down and not get up for a minute it is hard to sit there and not run out on to the field. Which is of course the last thing a football player wants his mom to do!! Both teams did well this year only 1 loss each, so it was a pretty successful year. I took video of most of the games and now endeavor to put together a dvd with some of the best hits, touchdowns, and plays of the year. I will show it at the banquet in December, so procrastination is out of the question here, I have 4 weeks to get it done. It is hard to cut down a whole season to 15 or 20 minutes but I will try.

Unbelievable Comeback

Because sports is a big part of our lives here in the Quinton household we always watch a bunch of games on t.v. Right now the baseball play-offs are getting alot of playtime on the screen. The Red Sox is our favorite team and they pulled off an unbelievable win last night. Rylan missed the big comeback because he went to bed thinking it was going to be a blowout (it was 5-0 for Tampa in the 6th inning). He thought I was pulling his leg this morning when I told him Boston came back to win. I wonder how many people in RedSox Nation went to bed thinking the same thing.

Sad Day

It has not been the best day around here, a good friend has lost his battle with cancer. He was a great guy and he will be missed by many. Makes a person stop and take stock of their own life, which sometimes is a scary thing.

Dial-Up

Okay, there are some perks of living in the country. The peace and quiet, no neighbors, no need for curtains on the windows, seeing deer out my "curtain less" window in morning, etc. But one thing that I desperately miss is HIGH SPEED internet. It is getting harder and harder to sit here and wait for pages to load and missing out on all the youtube videos that I want to see. There are some places out in the boondocks that can get the coveted signal, but infortunately we are too low in the valley to snatch any of that signal. So I am stuck in the land of super long download times for the foreseeable future. I could spend a fortune and get satellite internet, but I am not quite that desperate yet.

Selling Day

The calves sold yesterday. That is one more thing to cross off the list of things to do before winter. Prices were okay, but not as good as earlier in the month of September. Oh well, in this business you win some and you lose some. We still have some hay to put up and hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can get that done before long. We have had a week of unbelievable weather, no wind and temps close to 30 degrees celcius. That is just crazy for this time of year. Maybe this will help make up for the lousy weather we had in June. Kevin is wanting a wind though so the hay dries faster. Can't make everybody happy.

Colton turns 15 today, can't believe it. One year away from driving, high school, dating. Yikes!!
Of course he has ditched us in favor of hanging out with his friends, they put on a surprise birthday party for him which I am sure he will have way more fun at then hanging out with us.
